IELTS preparation is for students who need to take the exam to go to university. IELTS is short for 'International English Language Testing System'.
It is for students who are B1 (Intermediate) level and above. You will study 4 x 2 hour lessons per week (8 hours). Each lesson will focus on 1 part of the exam (e.g. Monday: Speaking, Tuesday: Writing, Thursday: Listening, Friday: Reading).
This programme will give you focused exam practise and will help you with exam techniques. You will also be expected to complete homework tasks and study outside the class.
You will study in our Glasgow City Centre Campus at the City of Glasgow College (CGC). This is a two minute walk from your accommodation. Our CGC campus is very modern with interactive whiteboards and multimedia ready classrooms.
Yes, it can be taken at Glasgow University or Glasgow Caledonian University. The exam takes place several times a month but is very busy, so you should apply at least six-weeks before the test date.
The exam can be booked online at takeielts.britishcouncil.org/book
Our teachers are all qualified English Language teachers. The lessons will be friendly and interactive with a strong emphasis on practical, every day communication. Your teacher will use a variety of materials and exercises including role-plays, authentic recorded material, newspapers and magazines.
Your teacher will provide feedback sessions to discuss your language learning. Your teachers can provide information and give suggestions about the places you might visit in Scotland.
“My classes were very good I enjoyed meeting people from different cultures and speaking in English. The teachers were very nice they helped me to speak English much better than I could before I came to Scotland. I love them and cannot forget them.”
